Wo donmnd now with our morning'
breakfast at least a column of trows
about tho flights of airships, and we
usually got It. Thoro Is n now kind of
International rnco going on a raco
for tho perfect airship, and tho first
prlxo In that raco Is no beautiful
gawd or empty honor; It Is tho oxton
slon of national power and tho possl
bio supremacy over other nations. At
least It Is ovldont that that vlow Is
held by many In Great llrltaln nnd
Qormany, and a posltlva nervousness
Is becoming ovldont over tho mllltnry

Sidney Whitman, Ulsmnrck's old
friend nnd biographer, has established
friendly relations with tho prouont
chancollor, I'rlnco von Iluolow, who
has just rnado him tho mouthpiece for
nn Interview calculated to mollify
England and lessen tho tension arising
from tho Moroccan situation. For tho
chauvinists In either country, who nrn
perpetually fanning tho flames of
hatred, tho chancellor has nothing but
contempt. Ho lutlmntos that Germany
will soon show In sonio unmistakable
way hor determination to bo u factor
for peace, and hor frlcndllnoss for
Great llrltaln, Especially significant
is his declaration that "tho dominant
Influence In tho world Ib nclthor Eng
land nor Gormany, much less any
slnglo Individual In cither country,"
but rnthor "tho world's conscience,"
often called public opinion. This Is a
striking tributo to tho effect which

It Is natural to overestimate tho

CHURCH OF FEW WEDDINGS.
Only Two In Two Centuries Is Record
of London Edifice.
London. Two marrlngos only in
two centuries Is n record which pos
sibly but ono church In tho world can
claim. That church Is St. Peter's,
Vero street, London. And yot St.
Peters Is ono of tho most fnshlonnblo
churches of London. Tho reason of Its
record Is curious. Tho church Is not
licensed for marrlngos.
Ith the nld of a special llconso and
n special proclamation nnd dispensa

nnd brought 8t. Poter's from tho un

that of Lord Solborno's dattghtor to
Col, I-onl Dlgby of tho Coldstream
gunrds. This was somo yenrs ago and
King hdwnrd was among tho guests.
Hut for tho fact that tho brldo was
daughter of EtiRlnnd's lord chancollor
It Is doubtful whether tho spoclnl nil
thorlzntlon needed for tho coromony
would hnvo been Issued. In tho Mc
Millan Mnurlco wedding tho fact that
tho bridegroom was chaplnln to tho

"Work botli ways?"
"Yes. Llko those that wore onee

"A friend said to Ilrownlow:
"'Lot mo congratulate you. I see

GIRL WAS DELIRIOUS
With Fearful Eczema Pain, Heat,

Cutlcura Acted Like Magic.
"An eruption broko out on my

doctor, nnd ho pronounced it to bo
eczema of n vory bad form, Ho treatod
hor, but tho dlscaso spread to hor back,
and then tho wliolo of hor head was
affected, and nil her hair had to bo cut
off. Tho pain sho Buffered was excru
ciating, nnd with that and tho boat
and tingling hor Ufa was almost un
bearable Occasionally sho was deliri
ous and sho did not hnvo a proporhour's
sleep for many nights. Tho Rccond
doctor wo tried afforded her just as
llttlo relief ns tho first. Then I pur
chased Cutlcura Soap, Ointment, and
Pills, nnd bctoro tho Ointment was
three-quarters finished ovory traco of

Imaginary Holidays.

arranges excursions for himself to

them In books of travel. To tho man
